Reading for Pleasure

In History, our Autumn topic will be all about the Anglo Saxons. To start our reading for pleasure journey we are going to read Shield Maiden. 

Anna is a 12-year-old who lives in a Saxon village. One day she finds a beautiful, golden horn but her life is turned upside down when a plethora of people, including a very ugly dwarf, suddenly want to capture her.

Our Class Saint - St Thomas More 

This year, Year 4 have chosen their own class saint. We had a class discussion about three saints and narrowed it down to just one. The children created fact files about our class saint, which are displayed in our school hall. 

Motto: 'I do not care very much what men say of me, provided that God approves of me.'

Our Vehicle this term is 'Learning from the past.'

This term we will be looking at how we have learnt from the past. We will be learning all about the Anglo Saxons and how they settled in Britain. We will also be looking at Claude Monet in Art, and understanding how his development of Impressionism changed the art world. 

Year 4 Multiplication Check! 

In Year 4, children are required to sit a statutory multiplication check in the summer term. Keep checking this page to find out more information! 

Meanwhile, take as many opportunities to practise times tables with your children using Times Tables Rock Stars.
